Mein Neues Leben {Football (Bayern/BVB) FanFiction}

My life (well, part of it)

--Alex POV--

I'm sure that, with what I've already told you about my life, you still don't know anything about me.

My name is Alex, Alexandra Reus Fernández (don't count my second surname, I don't like having two). I'm 19 years old, I'll be 20 on 13th May and I'm a player of FC Barcelona. I have long black hair, inherited from my mother's family side, and light blue eyes, I think the only Germanic physical feature that I have.

I'm theorically half-German half-Spanish. Why do I say theorically? Well, I'm only Spanish because my mother is. I'm German, born and raised in the beautiful city of Dortmund.

Even though, I could only be raised there for 7 years...

Back in May 1993, I was born in Dortmund. I was the second child in my family after my cousin, 4 years older than me.

I've loved football since I was literally little. When I was just 2, my cousin entered in a local sport club, Post SV Dortmund. After his trainings, he taught me what he had learned and we both practised football.

When I turned 6, my cousin and me convinced my father to let me enter in Post SV Dortmund to play football. At first my father just accepted because we were really annoying with the topic. But he changed his mind when he saw me playing for the first time.

My father, Lukas, worked for a local enterprise and my mother, Beatriz, worked for a fashion design firma. She was really all day travelling.

However that my mother was never at home wasn't as bad as it could seem. Or at least that was what I later realised.

When I started playing, my mother had to be in a modeling project for one year. And she didn't know that I played football.

The great change of my life came when my mother came back from this journey. And it was for worse.

My mother really thinks in stereotypes. She says that sports are for boys and girls should be in fashion.

So, you can imagine how mad she got, when she discovered that I played football. She tried to forbid me from playing, but I didn't listen to her. Football was the thing I loved the most. She found out about this, she got really mad and she made a decision: we were moving.

In that moment, I got truly mad at her. I didn't want to leave my life! She also told my father about it and they got really mad between each other. They argued a lot that day. And later, my mother said that that argument was my fault. I still think that it wasn't and truly, it wasn't.

Even though, I ran out from home. I arrived to the little pine in the middle of Westfalenpark. That pine was a refugee for my cousin and me. I remember it, even though I hated that moment.

*Flashback*

I sat down and started to cry, holding my legs closer to my chest.

"It isn't my fault" My head repeated

Suddenly, I felt a hand on my shoulder.

"Hallo!" I turned to see my cousin "Hey, what happens? Why are you crying?" He put my hand and wiped some tears from my cheeks.

"Woody... We are moving..." I said, trembling "And I don't want..." I went closer to him and hugged him.

"Was!? But why is that? Who decided it, Sternchen?" My cousin said, a bit angry

"Mama... She was mad because I played fußball and after, Mama and Papa argued because Mama said that and also, she said that it was my fault they argued" I finally said

"You know something... I really hate your mother" he said "I don't understand why she can get mad about that and worse, forcing you to move because of that and also, making you cry. It wasn't your fault, that's zickig!" he hugged me

We stood like that for some minutes. I decided to wipe my tears.

"Weißt was, Marco?" I asked

"Was?" he answered

"I'm not going to give up in football! Whatever my mother says!" I said, determined.

"That's the Alex I know" he laughed a bit.

*Flashback End*

We moved to Barcelona, my mother's city, some days after. I was determinated to continue with football. I was glad that I least could finish my first season in football.
